I'm waiting for my man

Twenty-six dollars in my hand

Up to Lexington, 125

Feel sick and dirty, more dead than alive

I'm waiting for my man



Hey, white boy, what you doin' uptown?

Hey, white boy, you chasin' our women around? 

Oh pardon me sir, it's the furthest from my mind 

I'm just lookin' for a dear, dear friend of mine 

I'm waiting for my man



Here he comes, he's all dressed in black

Beat up shoes and a big straw hat

He's never early, he's always late

First thing you learn is you always gotta wait

I'm waiting for my man



Up to a Brownstone, up three flights of stairs 

Everybody's pinned you, but nobody cares 

He's got the works, gives you sweet taste

Ah then you gotta split because you got no time to waste 

I'm waiting for my man

Baby don't you holler, darlin' don't you bawl and shout 

I'm feeling good, you know I'm gonna work it on out 

I'm feeling good, I'm feeling oh so fine

Until tomorrow, but that's just some other time

I'm waiting for my man
